Left lane slowpokes 

 

 

So you like life in the slow lane. If you are caught in Virginia it could cost you $100.

                                                                                                                               

 

Since July 1, 2017 thousands have been ticketed for driving too slow in the fast (left) lane. Although the law has been on the books for awhile it was pulled out, dusted off and clarified and then enforced aggressively by the State Police. Personally, I give Kudos to them!

 

You have your cruise control set listening to a favorite tune on the CD player making good time and as you pull into the fast lane to pass a slower car and maintain your momentum when boom, there is a driver on his/her Sunday drive on a weekday impervious to the fact that due to your quick reflexes you just saved them from meeting that maker they are dwelling on. As you curse and use many un-PC words and shove the horn into the steering column they reconnect with reality and wonder what is your problem. Your blood pressure rises and for the next 50 miles, your day is ruined and you are now a believer that a $100 fine is just not enough. 

 

So if you find yourself pedaling down the highways of Virginia stay in the right lane unless passing or prepare to shell out a C-Note For driving the rest of us crazy.
